I bring sad news, A previous member of Hospitaller has committed to ultimate betrayal.
Plague entered into Hospitaller with the clothes on his back a small amount of gold with hopes of working as a knight, during Plague's time with us he seemed to settle in well and although quiet at times seemed opportunistic and eager to help. With in the last few weeks members began to notice that glare has left his eye, and a sinister smile began to grow. Despite the then, paranoid seeming opinions, Hospitaller decided to equip Plague with his own army and gear to patrol the Hospitaller lands.
Those paranoid opinions are now at our doorstep, Plague with his army were seen marching far north, After threats of leaving Hospitaller a messenger was dispatched! A diplomat was sent out and reached Plague's army hours afterwords, Once the messenger reached Plague the conversation was not well received, Plague then informed our diplomat that he and his army would be attacking all villages north of the steppe! Knowing this was going against the will of Hospitaller the messenger pleaded with the now angry commander to come back to the castle, he would be allowed to leave the faction but would not do so with Hospitaller men and gear, after talks the diplomat offered a solution, Plague would be allowed to keep all of the gear, gold, and men that wanted to follow, Our diplomat even offered an extra sack of gold to keep his remaining troops well fed for weeks to come while leaving our lands. While asking the commanders troops, it was said that 500 of the 830 troops wanted to return home, and did not want to follow there now corrupt commander! Plague refused the offer and stated he would allow to send the gear and men back only if he would be allowed more gold that could be carried by a thousand men! Of course the diplomat told the crazed commander that would just not be possible, and that Hospitaller were offering a good deal, all they asked for was the 500 men to return to their families. Plague then erupted with a story of self importance, and explained he was disciplined by Hospitaller leaders and felt that he must enter into this journey, that he would march his troops to the FCC faction and pledge allegiance to anyone against the Hospitaller clan!
Now as the diplomat realized there was no talking to to angry Plague commander, he left with a message, and that was Hospitaller will allow everything in Plague's possession to stay on him, even though it was Hospitaller made equipment, but the men wanting to leave and return home would not be forgoten, that armies would be dispatched to confront Plague and bring justice to those men.
Plaques only response was that he would rather slay every man than to return a soul safely to Hospitaller land. Plague then raised his sword and with a grunted motion sliced through the diplomat's horse, cutting deep enough to remove its head from its body. While the diplomat covered his side as if to be struck next, Plague simply smiled and stated he would be allowed to live, Only to tell the story of what is to come.
A bounty is now on Plague head, Hospitaller armies are sent to confront the traitor, if Plague happens to escape to EU lands 500 goods will be awarded to any faction that will terminate this traitors life.

Long story turned into a semi-quick story
Plague joined Hospitaller, He came to the faction with a little gold and that was it. He had a fight with a member and was upset and threatened to leave the clan, We told him he could leave but would have to make sure to leave all the gear/troops we gave him back, he said that was no problem.. He then started to head away from the steppe, after asking him what he was doing he decided to head north and try and attack Tuetonics or anyone else he wanted, he then said he had enough and wanted to leave the clan, But wanted to keep the gear/troops and help us with strat, But he was headed to our most northern castle where he could run from our armies which was just too shady, Rather than telling him to either give us our stuff back or be attacked, we offered for him to keep everything aside from 500 of his 830+ troops, he could keep all the gear and gold he had on him. He then decided he was worth 200k for his time in Hospitaller as he did solo trade runs while in the clan and that money should be his.
There was no reasoning with him and it almost sounded like this was planned and he was trying to merge with a hostile faction to spite this encounter with certain Hospitaller member, regardless of dragging the entire Hospitaller faction into it. So now armies are going after him.
***If Plague is warped to EU lands, Hospitaller are offering 500 goods from the steppe on the NA side for each time he is killed or until this contract runs out at a later time. If seen on NA side other commodities will be offered to any faction that kills him.***
I know this may seem extreme but we feel as if a nice bounty system would make things a little more entertaining, we wish Plague the best and hope he can find a clan that better suites him, but as for his time in Hospitaller with in the last few weeks it was obvious he wanted to do his own thing, and has a vendetta against our entire clan because of a few individuals and is now doing anything destructive for spite.
